GOSSIP AND ISLANDER.
The Wide Difference Which May Elk
Between the Two.

The Wide Difference Which May Exist
Between the Two.
There is wide distinction between
gossip and SANDER. Gossip may be true
or false; SANDER implies lie. Gossip
may be good-natured, or ill-natured;
SANDER is born of malice. Gossip may
be edifying, or disgusting; SANDER de-
grades alike him who talks and him who
listens. Gossip may sometimes lead to
practical results and be pregnant with
valuable suggestions; SANDER never
helps any cause but that of the Evil One.
Gossip may be defined as talk about
the little affairs of other people. These
are, strictly speaking, none of your bust
ness; but there is this to be said-other
people are certain to occupy themselves
with your little affairs. Indeed, the
social nature of humanity seems to in
volve an interest in what concerns our
fellows, independent of its relation to
ourselves. And there is another cause
for the universal propensity to gossip.
1t has been said that no man is
hero to his valet. 1t may also be
observed that, without an enormous
capacity for self-delusion, men cannot be
admirable in their own eyes. There are
thousands of petty weaknesses, secret
foibles, resisted yet serious temptations
and unspeakable thoughts for which we
all have to reckon with our consciences.
1t is a satisfaction to find that
we are not alone in these experiences
that what some lucky chance,
it may be, has alone saved us
from, Jones has actually committed !;
that puerilties we are sneakingly aware
of in our own hearts and minds have
been openly manifested by Smith. This
brings in personal vanity to be gratified
by piquant disclosures of friends
peccadilloes, and imparts to gossip, per-
haps, its main attractiveness. But
gossip, nevertheless, deals with lighter
matters than SANDER, and may be of
good things as well as naughty.
One of the greatest errors fostered by
literature too exclusively masculine is
that gossip is the peculiar province and
great deal of effrontery for an observant
man to maintain this position. The
male sex, he cannot but perceive, spends
hours of the so-called business part of
the day in the idlest of gossip. But the
dear credulous creatures at home, who re-
ceive as gospel everything their protect
ors" tell them, and great deal more that
is told them by others, have, of course,
no idea how much business" consists in
slipping from one store to another and
chatting on the news of the day, in
loungihg around street-corners, or in
clubs and restaurants and discussing the
gadding and gossiping. What a COM
conscious of their own inferiority!

passage of storms, and as they are bound
up with the varying weight of the at
mosphere, the barometer, which indi-
Gates the weight or pressure of the air,
furnishes the key to the weather changes.
Weather maps representing a consid-
cradle part of the earth's surface, as the
United States and the adjacent portions
of the British possessions, show two
distinct systems of atmospheric pressure,
the forms and positions of which change
from day to day The data necessary
for the construction of the weather
map being properly placed upon a map
of the country, concentric lines con-
Meeting places where the barometers
read alike can be traced inclosing these
systems. In one the lines will be
found to inclose pressures success
lively less until in about the centre
of the system the least pressure
is located. In the other the
lines will inclose pressures successfully
greater until in about the centre of the
system the greatest pressure is located.
The former system is known as an 'area
of low barometer" or cyclone, and the
latter as an 'area of high barometer" or
anti-cyclone Well-defined areas of low
barometer are the distinguishing charac-
terlStlcS OF Ine great StofHs, Inc nurrl-
canes and typhoons of tropical regions
and the ordinary storms of the middle
ATTITUDES. They are all comprehended
under the general name cyclone.
1t is upon this wonderful atmosphere
of ours that we depend for the tempera-
ture and the elements that make life pos
sible. The heat of the sun is the chief
factor in the development and preserva-
ton of life as it is also, by reason of its
agency in upsetting the equilibrium of
the atmosphere, the power of destruc-
ton and desolation. To meet the re-
quirements of life it is essential
that the surface of the earth and the
lower strata of the atmosphere receive
and retain the greatest amount of heat
This need is provided for in the ease with
which the suns heat passes through
the atmosphere, concentrating on the
earth's surface and in the lower air strata
and the difficulty with which it is ra-
dated back by the earth. In this respect
the atmosphere serves the same purpose
as glass, and the gardener gives us a
practical illustration when he covers his
plants with glass, which freely permits
the passage of the suns heat and prevents

heated and therefore light and expand
ing stratum, underlying mass of cold
and therefore dense and heavy atmos-
phere, seeks to rise. Finding in some
favorable locality an escape through the
everything obstruction, an upward stream
or current sets in, and to this point the
adjacent surface air flows and ascends in
the upward current. When the uprush is
fairly under way the air flowing in from
all sides quickly gains velocity and a
whirling motion is established. You
may illustrate this by filling a basin, hav-
ing hole in the centre of the bottom,
with water. Open the hole and give the
water an initial agitation, and you will
find it moving around the sides of the
basin while it is passing out of the hole
in the bottom. The whirl increases in
dimensions until there is great revolv-
ing movement of atmosphere A storm
then is an immense area of circling
winds, from which it gets the appropri-
ate name Cyclone" 1t is a general in
ward atmospheric movement toward and
around a central area.
Storms are fed and maintained by as
scending currents of warm, moist air on
their eastern and descending currents of
cold, drying air, to take the place of the
former, on their western side. The
lighter air and rainfall in front of storm
induce the storm to move in that direc-
ton. This, together with the pushing
force of the increasing pressure applied
by the heavier descending currents of air
in rear of the storm, determines the
direction of the storms movement. Tenn
perature and moisture increase at places
toward and over which the front part of
the storm is moving, and decrease at
places over which the front part of the
storm has passed With rising tempera-
ture and increasing moisture in front of
the storm, pressure decreases and the
barometer falls; while with falling tenn
perature and drying air in rear of the
storm pressure increases and the barome-
ter rises. Moist regions attract storm.
Regions where high pressure and a
dry, hazy, smoky atmosphere prevail
counterfeit the tendency to storm forma-
ton and rain, and repel, defect, or at
least retard the approaching storm. The
circling winds carry the warm, vapor-
laden southerly air around the front and
across the northern end of the major axis
of a storm, and bring the cold, drying,
northerly air around the rear and across
the southern end of this axis. This ex-
plains why it happens that the warmest
weather of the month may occur in one
part of the country simultaneously
with the coolest weather of the
month in another part. The warm,
light, moist, southerly current in front of

Some Interesting Points Concerning This
Very Useful Article.
The density of cork varies with its quality
and age. Thin corks are usually heavier
than those of the same volume that have
grown more rapidly, and, in corks of the
same class, the density increases with the
age. M. Brisson gives O.24O as an average
maximum, and the ordinary density of a
ten-year-old cork may be taken at OF. With
extreme lightness are associated other valua-
BILE qualities: that of being poor conductor
of heat and sound; impermeability to
liquids; imperfect combustibility, and non
liability to decay, by reason of which it is
susceptible of very numerous applications
in industry. The most important use of the
substance is for bottle-corks.. The bark
is kept in a damp cellar. When taken to
the shop it is cut. by the first work
man into strips, the width of which
corresponds with the length of the
future cork. A second workman cuts
these strips into squares suited in size to

ling, till they pass into the hands of the
corkmaker. He applies them in succession.
giving them rotary motion, to the edge of
q wide-bladed knife, drawing them at the
same time slowly along its length, and by
skillful manipulation, transforms the square
into round cork. This is the method usu-
ally practiced in France Workmen in other
countries handle the knife in different man
ners. 1t is essential, to obtain a good and
solid cork, to take care that its axis as it is
cut from the bark be parallel with the axis
of the tree on which the bark grew; but the
broad, flat corks have to be cut perpendicu-
lar to the axis of the tree. Only the finest
corks are now made by hand. A good work
man can turn out in the method described
about 1000 corks a day.-POpular Science

A Story Teller.

Mr.. Lawrence Jerome stands alone in New

ally tell funny stories by the hour and the
popularity of his case is that it does not mat
ter in the least what company he is in, he is
equally happy. He has been known to
amuse a party of ladies, crowd of work
men, and club of practiced wits all in one
day. As for children, they think no one I'M
derstands how to please them so well as he.
He told story at the Chamberlain dinner
the other night of dude running for Con-

section or locality will make this very
clear.
Storm tracks across this continent lie
along higher or lower parallels according
to the season of the year. In winter and
early spring storm centres move along
lower ATTITUDES, the lower the colder our
winter, because the cold northerly air in
rear of storms preponderates. In sum-
mer and autumn they generally keep
we'll in the north, and the further north
the warmer our summer and longer our
autumn, because the warm southerly
air preponderates. We see on the
diagram that the surface air within
influential distance of a circling storm is
drawn toward and around the centre of
the storm. 1t is mistaken popular no.
ton that a storm comes from the east
because the wind blows from that quar-
ter. Easterly winds generally indicate
the approach of storm from some
westerly point.
In the southeastern quadrant of a
cyclone, or storm, generally occurs the
collision of fierce currents resulting in
the tornado. S. S. BAssLER.

., How to dispose of the garbage is one of
In Montreal the system of burning has been
adopted, and the Philadelphia board of
health has sought information concerning
the success of the device. From the reply
received it appears that a crematory can be
built at a cost of 81 600 for each furnace, ex-
elusive of the cost of the shed-covering. 1t
can be worked by four men. In twelve hours
each furnace will cremate sixty to seventy
cubic yards or carloads of garbage. There
is no smell, and the crematory can be erected

Agitation for revolution in the manner

Chicago. The new plan provides for the re-
verse of the present order of addressing-in-
stead of the PERSONS name coming first that

several approve of it on the score that it
would expedite in casing others pronounce
it worthless.-Erchdnge.

a storm gradually rises into the colder
strata of the atmosphere and condenses
it's vapor of water into clouds and rain,
which conditions are carried into the
upper rear portion of the storm, where,
under falling temperature, the rain
turns to snow, and, under the influence
of evaporating nOrtherly winds and ris-
ing barometer, the sky presently clears
off bright and cold. Job said, "Fair
weather cometh out of the north" and
Solomon wrote, "The north wind driveth
away rain"
Attending storms we find the broadcast
features of weather to be as shown in
the diagram:
The lines, called "isobars," returning
into themselves, inclose the circling mass
of atmosphere which constitutes 1.-THE
storm" The dotted lines, called ESQ
therms," whatever their values may be,
show the usual trend of temperature
lines in relation to storms. The arrows
Qocal wind directions) and legends have
no geographical reference, but show the
weather conditions surrounding a pro-
gressive storm The whole revolving
mass propagates itself in an easterly di-
rection, the average direction of move
ment being northeastward.
In the southeastern portion of the
diagram we see the region in relation to
a storm where the weather is clear and
very warm, with the red sunsets and
yellow moon that indicate a prolonga-
ton of fair weather. "When it is even
ing we say it will be fair weather, for the
sky is red" In the heated southwesterly
currents that prevail southeast of the
storm, cumulus clouds are formed and
sail northward. These soon enter the
region in trent of the storm,
where the higher cirrus are found,
and combining with them form the GIRO
stratus, and presently there is gloomy
overcast sky and rain. Attending the
higher cirro-stratus we find watery
sun, a pale moon, and alo-forming
sky. "The moon with a circle brings
water in her beak." Halos generally oc-
cur in the extreme front of storm area,
and are, perhaps, our first indication of
coming change of weather The pale
moon and watery sun are indications of
the increasing dampness of this part of
the storm area.

moon, if there be any at night, and bright
sunshine during the day.
Our relative position toward storm
and the weather we are likely to expert
ence in connection with it may be
readily seen on the diagram. If the
storm passes by well north of us we have
the warm southerly winds, the north
ward-sailing cumulus clouds, the fair
weather with its yellow moon and red
sunsets, followed, as the storm passes our
meridian, by cooler westerly winds and
a continuation of fair weather We es-
cape the winter side of the storm. If it
comes up from the southwest and moves
about as represented on the diagram we
will experience the weather conditions
of both its front and rear portions.
If it comes up from the southeast and
moves along the Atlantic coast we will
have only its winter side. If we have a
southeasterly wind and the usual premo-
nitions of an approaching storm we may
know by watching the wind whether the
centre of that storm is coming directly
toward us or whether it will pass by
north or south of our locality.
Should the wind continue from
the southeast the storm will pass over
us. Should the wind change to north
east and north, the storm center is pass
ing by south of us and we will suffer
raw, dsagreeable weather with rain or
snow and some days of low temperature.
But should the wind change to the south
and west, the storm is moving by north
